Daimler Saloon 4.0 Six 4d Auto (1995/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Surprisingly inexpensive to buy and at this age depreciation is minimal.
Costs
It is thirsty especially if your driving is spirited. Use an independent specialist for servicing to avoid huge bills. I have had it converted to LPG and my fuel costs have almost halved.

On the road
Driving
Exactly as expected and wanted, absolutely wonderful in every department whether cruising the motorway or out on the twisty bits.
Performance
Enough power on tap for all occasions.

Living with it
Reliability
I have driven 20K miles since I bought it without a single problem.
Image
As far as I am concerned, it is second to none. Just drive safe in the knowledge that you can't get more car for the money and forget other people's view of it as an old man's car.
Comfort
The best! Only an S Class or Rolls can compare.

Security and Service
Security
No problems with remote locking. Reassuringly solid sound when locking.
